Anfernee Simons' name has been tossed into trade rumors since the moment it was announced that he had been traded to the Boston Celtics. Boston’s ultimate goal, at least entering the season, seemed to be to clear as much salary as possible to dive below the first apron and maybe even the luxury tax.
Of course, Simons’ $27 million owed this year could be a great tool to help them reach that goal, should they find the right trade to offload his money.
Most of the speculation to this point would tell you that if teams were interested in trading for the 26-year-old, he would’ve already been moved.
